摘要:
A method and apparatus are described for gaining access to a communication medium in a contention-based network, including determining a slot count based on a number of stations in the contention-based network, adjusting the slot count, initiating a frame transmission when the slot count reaches a predetermined value and wherein said number of stations and an address queue are adjusted to reflect a priority. Further, a method and apparatus are described for gaining access to a communication medium in a contention-based network, including receiving a slot count based on a number of stations in the contention-based network, adjusting the slot count, initiating a frame transmission when the slot count reaches a predetermined value and wherein said number of stations and an address queue are adjusted to reflect a priority.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are described including transmitting data if a slot count is equal to a triggering event, selecting a new triggering event responsive to a failed data transmission and replacing the triggering event with the new triggering event.

摘要:
A method and apparatus are described including identifying a channel that a decentralized network is using for communications and identifying a station that is a member of the decentralized network to monitor data transmission activity over the identified channel. Also described are a method and apparatus for a station to transmit data over a communication medium of a decentralized network including monitoring the communication medium, determining if the communication medium is idle, transmitting data if the communication medium is idle and if the station has a data to transmit and adjusting a slot count and a service ring configuration if the medium is busy. Further described are a method and apparatus including monitoring a communication channel used by a decentralized network, determining a number of available idle time slots between two successive frame transmissions initiated by different stations, updating a service ring, adjusting a number of stations and adjusting a slot count.

A method and apparatus are described including determining a target congestion index, determining a congestion index based on information from a last back-off round, comparing the target congestion index with the congestion index, performing one of increasing a triggering set size by a first factor and decreasing the triggering set size by a second factor responsive to the comparison, determining if a communications medium is idle, adjusting a back-off counter responsive to the third determining act, determining if the back-off counter is equal to a triggering point in the triggering set and transmitting data responsive to the fourth determining act.

A method and apparatus are described including determining if a successful unicast transmission has occurred, adjusting a contention window to a minimum value and adjusting a time slot back-off counter to one-half of the value of the contention window plus one responsive to the determination and adjusting the contention window using one of a plurality of adjustment schemes and selecting said time slot back-off counter from an interval between zero and the contention window.
